Episode 310 What Every Hiring Manager Should Know with Mickey Trent

On this episode of The Lead Up Podcast, Mike is joined by Mickey Trent. Mickey works with Anteris Talent Advisors, a retained executive search and talent acquisition consulting firm. Mickey has over 20 years of healthcare executive recruiting experience and she shares how she got into recruiting and how the pandemic really changed the game for recruiting.

Mike and Mickey talk about their favorite aspects of recruiting and Mickey shares how she loves working with so many different people and seeing them grow in positions. They also talk about the challenges recruiters are facing right now and how money is not the driving force for people leaving their jobs to go to similar positions at different organizations.

They discuss why it’s so important for companies to hire the right people in today's workforce. Mickey speaks about how she’s seeing, particularly in the healthcare sector, that employees are doing a lot more and with less so it’s crucial that organizations are finding the perfect fit. Mike shares his ideas on ‘closed-loop systems’ when it comes to the hiring process and why ensuring you let people know when they don’t get the job is so important. 

Mike and Mickey discuss the main questions organizations need to ask why they’re looking for leaders as being the following:

• Can you provide examples of times you applied the skills we’re looking for and the results you’ve experienced from using said skills?
• What are the processes and systems you have put in place to sustain the success you’ve had?
• What are some critical errors you made, how did you fix them and what did you learn from them?
• Can you share some information on how many people you’ve helped to develop into becoming leaders and how you did that?
